Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Alger International Opportunities Fund Class A returned a 5.23%, excluding sales load, return for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2025, compared to the 6.21% return of the MSCI ACWI ex USA. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Financials and Industrials. The largest sector overweight was Consumer Discretionary and the largest sector underweight was Financials.
Contributors to Performance
The Consumer Staples and Health Care sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Nintendo Co., Ltd., Coca-Cola HBC AG, Heidelberg Materials AG, CaixaBank SA, and 3i Group Plc were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
Industrials and Consumer Discretionary sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Meituan, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., PT Bank Central Asia Tbk, Nippon Sanso Holdings Corp., and Intermediate Capital Group Plc were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Corporate Governance Reforms in Japan Positive Ongoing pressure from the Tokyo Stock Exchange to prioritize shareholder returns spurred a wave of share-buyback announcements, signaling a durable shift toward shareholder-friendly capital allocation and supporting valuations across Japan’s equity market.
Germany’s Post-Election Fiscal Stimulus Positive Following Germany's February 2025 federal election, coalition leaders agreed to loosen constitutional debt restrictions, create a €500 billion infrastructure fund, and increase defense expenditures—measures anticipated to boost domestic growth and support broader European equities.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative Broad reciprocal tariffs introduced by the U.S. in early April 2025 triggered retaliatory threats; the E.U. and China quickly prepared counter measures, reviving fears of a wider trade war and clouding the outlook for export-oriented economies. This uncertainty also caused the U.S. dollar (USD) to weaken against major currencies like the Euro, negatively impacting international companies earning profits in USD, as these profits became less valuable when converted to their home currencies.
China’s Ongoing Property Sector Weakness Negative China's property sector remained weak in early 2025, evidenced by contracting investment and home sales, negatively influencing growth expectations and investor sentiment toward equities with mainland exposure.

During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Information Technology and Health Care. The largest sector overweight was Information Technology and the largest sector underweight was Industrials.
Contributors to Performance
The Industrials and Consumer Staples sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Guardant Health, Inc., Aritzia, Inc., Oddity Tech Ltd., Xometry, Inc., and Duolingo, Inc. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Impulse Dynamics Plc, Aritzia, Inc., Bio-Techne Corp., RH, and Shake Shack, Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Alger Growth & Income Fund Class C returned -2.41%, excluding contingent deferred sales charge, for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2025, compared to the -1.74% return of the S&P 500 Index. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Information Technology and Financials. The largest sector overweight was Energy and the largest sector underweight was Consumer Discretionary.
Contributors to Performance
The Information Technology and Real Estate sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Broadcom Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Visa Inc., KLA Corp., and CME Group Inc. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, UnitedHealth Group Inc., Apple Inc., Blackstone Inc., Alphabet Inc., and PepsiCo, Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.

Alger Mid Cap Growth Fund Class Z returned -2.17% for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2025, compared to the 2.03% return of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Information Technology and Industrials. The largest sector overweight was Industrials and the largest sector underweight was Consumer Discretionary.
Contributors to Performance
The Communication Services and Materials sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Palantir Technologies Inc., Spotify Technology SA, AppLovin Corp., GFL Environmental Inc., and Constellation Software Inc. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Industrials and Health Care sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Globant SA, e.l.f. Beauty, Inc., Vaxcyte, Inc., Marvell Technology, Inc., and Pinterest, Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Alger Health Sciences Fund Class Z returned -14.32% for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2025, compared to the 1.74% return of the S&P 500 Index and the -5.42% return of the Russell 3000 Health Care Index.
Contributors to Performance
Regarding individual positions, McKesson Corp. Boston Scientific Corp., Cardinal Health, Inc., Quest Diagnostics, Inc. and Inari Medical, Inc. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
Regarding individual positions, Impulse Dyanamics Plc., UnitedHealth Group, Inc., Amgen Inc., Biogen Inc., and Glaukos Corp. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Alger Weatherbie Specialized Growth Fund Class A generated a -9.88% return, excluding sales load, for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2025, compared to the -8.70% return of the Russell 2500 Growth Index. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Health Care and Industrials. The largest sector overweight was Financials and the largest sector underweight was Consumer Discretionary.
Contributors to Performance
The Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Natera, Inc., Casella Waste Systems, Inc., Palomar Holdings, Inc., Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., and Progyny, Inc. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Health Care and Financials sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Neogen Corp, RXO, Inc., Semtech Corp., Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc., and Montrose Environmental Group Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Alger Small Cap Focus Fund Class A returned -11.93%, excluding sales load, for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2025, compared to the -8.97% return of the Russell 2000 Growth Index. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Health Care and Information Technology. The largest sector overweight was Health Care and the largest sector underweight was Consumer Discretionary.
Contributors to Performance
The Energy and Industrials sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Natera, Inc., Inari Medical, Inc., Xometry, Inc., RBC Bearings, Inc., and Guidewire Software, Inc. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Health Care and Information Technology sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, FTAI Aviation Ltd., Upstart Holdings, Inc., Kura Sushi USA, Inc., Glaukos Corp. and Bio-Techne Corp. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.

The Communication Services and Health Care sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, Netflix, Inc., Astera Labs, Inc., Spotify Technology SA, Natera, Inc., and Sea Ltd. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, NVIDIA Corp., Marvell Technology, Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., Enovix Corp., and Cloudflare Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
What impacted Fund performance over the reporting period?
Alger Concentrated Equity Fund Class A generated a -0.68% return, excluding sales load, for the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2025, compared to the -1.57% return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. During the reporting period, the largest sector weightings were Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary. The largest sector overweight was Industrials and the largest sector underweight was Consumer Staples.
Contributors to Performance
The Communication Services and Industrials sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance. Regarding individual positions, AppLovin Corp., Netflix, Inc., GFL Environmental Inc., Global-e Online Ltd., and Sea Ltd. were the top five contributors to absolute performance.
Detractors from Performance
The Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors were the largest detractors from relative performance. Regarding individual positions, NVIDIA Corp., Meta Platforms Inc., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Constellation Energy Corp., and Apple Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.

Regarding individual positions, NVIDIA Corp., Core Scientific Inc., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Meta Platforms Inc., and indie Semiconductor, Inc. were the top five detractors from absolute performance.
U.S. FACTOR IMPACT SUMMARY
Resilient Corporate Earnings Positive Strong corporate earnings were driven by profit margin improvement and robust consumer spending. Themes such as cloud-based computing growth and artificial intelligence ("AI") proliferation also supported market sentiment.
AI-Driven Capital Expenditure Wave Positive Major U.S. technology firms announced plans exceeding $300 billion in 2025 capital expenditures—primarily targeting AI-related data centers and infrastructure—indicating a durable investment cycle that reinforced growth expectations.
Aggressive Reciprocal Tariffs Negative In early April 2025, President Donald Trump announced aggressive “reciprocal” tariffs that were more severe than anticipated, triggering concerns of retaliatory trade actions, supply-chain cost pressure, and weaker global demand for U.S. exports.
Rising Economic Uncertainty Negative While U.S. consumer and business spending was strong in the first quarter of 2025, rising economic uncertainty weighed on sentiment. Consumer confidence declined amid elevated inflation expectations, while escalating trade tensions eroded business optimism and reduced international demand for U.S. assets, tempering expectations for future economic growth.
